At least 20 killed in Myanmar junta attack as paramotors widen air war

A motorized paraglider dropped bombs on a crowd during the Thadingyut festival in Chaung U township, killing at least 24 people and injuring 47 others.
Witnesses reported that approximately 100 people were targeted as they gathered for the Thadingyut festival and an anti-junta demonstration.
Amnesty International condemned the attack, stating it serves as a 'gruesome wake-up call' that civilians in Myanmar need urgent protection.
The military junta's recent actions, including the use of paramotors for attacks, signify an escalation in their campaign against anti-junta resistance.
